Hermann Goering in the First World War : the personal photograph albums of Hermann Goering

Taylor, Blaine2014
Books
"This book concentrates on an earlier era of Hermann Goring's life: the slim, dashing fighter pilot and combat ace of an earlier struggle, the Great War, or World War I of 1914-18, which he began as an infantry officer fighting the French Army in the 1914 Battle of the Frontiers. During a hospitalization, his friend Bruno Lorzer convinced him to become an aerial observer-photographer, photographing the mighty French fortress of Verdun. He did, and began these never-before-seen personal photo albums of men and aircraft at war: up close."
